Programs for Helping Others

The Uplift Program
The Uplift program is designed to help folks with a fairly long-term financial problem with funds that will enable a family to solve their problem via education, support, and

Security Deposit Program
The Security Deposity program is one way you can help your poorer neighbors with the shocking increase in the cost of housing. The Society puts down a security deposit on a new apartment for a family, with the Society remaining entitled to the money, so that it may be reused when the family moves on, so that we can help another family.

Parochial School Tuition Scholarship Program
Each year the Central Council of the Society here in the Archdiocese of Boston awards a $1000.00 scholarship to 100 students. Vincentians visit families in their conference who may be elegible and help the parents fill out an application. This is forwarded, with a cover letter for each application and a ranking by the conference of all their applications, to the Central Council by April 1 of the year and a committee drawn from throughout the Archdiocese reviews the applications, letters and rankings and picks the 100 parochial school students who will win the award. Any student attending a Catholic Parochial school, grades kindergarten through grade 8 is elegible.
